I ordered the Encore Gust to replace a pair I have had for 15 years. Love that shoe. The pair I got in May, 2013 'squeaked' at the heel on both left and right shoes. I returned them to Merrell and got replacement Gusts. After a couple of months both shoes squeaked at the heels when walking. I have returned those also. The 'last' of the shoe is different than the originals and Merrell changed the style number twice between my original order and now.

I bought these shoes to replace a similar pair of Merrells (Encore Groove mules) that I purchased 6 years ago. Back then I thought that I was going out on a limb purchasing a mule (something radically different from any shoe I had ever owned). Turned out I've never worn a more comfortable shoe. The shoes have remained comfortable even on days when my feet and ankles are prone to swelling. I've enjoyed wearing them so much that I ordered 2 pair (1 brown / 1 black) so that I'm covered should the shoe ever be discontinued.

After 10 years of wearing these, about new pair per year, I still think they are the best! My size 8.5 always fits; insert soles have improved; they take a good shine if so inclined. First part to wear out are the heels unless you use a shoehorn, but even without the horn they last a long time.

second pair after having been forced away from the mesh ones when two "V's" of elastic were added, making the fit too loose for my narrow foot! If you have issues with the looseness of your shoe, get the 7MM foot pads...they DO make a difference!
